Before transporting the vehicle, it is nec-
essary to empty the fuel tank and the car-
burettor completely, see page 83 (DRAIN-

both are completely dry.

During transport, the vehicle must be kept
in vertical position and be firmly anchored
in order to avoid leaks of fuel, oil and cool-
ant.
In case of failure, do not tow the vehicle,
but ask for assistance.
